I checked my Why? cache today after a couple no finds and a report of bees. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=52218 The cache is still in place and sure enough, so are the bees! A nice 2-3 pound swarm about three feet from the cache. I've kept bees as a hobby in the past but had to give up this fascinating activity because of the obvious problems of having bees in the city with non-understanding neighbors. It was hard to resist the urge to grab my old equipment and hive the little suckers. I miss all that good honey. Virtually all wild swarms in this part of the country are mixed with the Africanized Killer Bee strain. They're aggressive and need to be avoided. I'll temporarily disable this until it's safe. This one can still be had if you want to go caching in a bee mask, gloves and jumpsuit. In a park this large what's the chance a swarm would choose to perch right here? Bee facts: In the spring bees follow the swarming instinct to increase their number of colonies. They raise a new, second queen who leaves with about half the bees in the old colony. Unless a new home is found quickly, they set up temporary quarters by hanging in a clump, usually on a tree limb. Scout bees then search for a permanent home, maybe in a cliff crevice or someone's attic. In a mild climate like Arizona's, I've seen bees that decide to stay and build comb right on a tree limb but this is rare. My guess is that the cache bees will be on their way soon and I'll reopen it. Jerry Offtrail
